Clear Markings Move Traffic, Reduce Risk, and Add Stalls
Good striping does four things at once. It moves vehicles through your property without confusion, it separates pedestrians from traffic, it satisfies accessibility requirements, and it frequently recovers parking stalls that a poor original layout gave away.
Striping is the application of paint or thermoplastic markings that define stalls, drive aisles, accessible parking, fire lanes, loading zones, and pedestrian crossings on a paved surface. It is the layer that turns asphalt into a functioning parking facility.
Asphalt Protectors has been laying out and marking lots across the Reno, NV region since the late 1980s. If a line is wrong, we redo it.
What Striping Involves
Striping starts with layout, not paint. Someone has to determine stall dimensions, drive aisle widths, accessible parking counts and placement, and how traffic will circulate. Getting that wrong wastes space and creates congestion that no amount of good paint will fix.
Application follows layout. Material is applied at the right thickness, in the right conditions, on a surface that has been properly prepared to accept it.
The distinction matters because most lots are simply restriped over whatever was there before, inheriting every flaw of the original layout. We look at whether the existing configuration is actually serving you before we trace it.
Types of Striping and Markings
Standard Stall Striping
Single and double-line stall marking laid out to appropriate dimensions for the property type
Accessible Parking
Accessible stalls, access aisles, and symbol markings positioned per requirements
Directional and Traffic Markings
Arrows, lane lines, stop bars, and circulation guidance
Fire Lane Marking
Designated fire lanes and no-parking zones per local fire code
Crosswalks and Pedestrian Paths
Marked routes separating foot traffic from vehicle movement
Loading and Service Zones
Delivery areas, dumpster approaches, and restricted-use designations
Curb Painting
Red, yellow, blue, and white curb marking for restrictions and designations
Numbering and Stenciling
Stall numbers, reserved markings, visitor and tenant designations
Our Striping Process
- Layout Review – We assess the existing configuration and whether it is using the space efficiently before defaulting to a restripe
- Measurement and Design – Stall counts, aisle widths, and accessible parking requirements worked out on paper before anyone opens a paint can
- Surface Preparation – The surface is cleaned so paint bonds to pavement rather than to dust and debris
- Layout Marking – Lines are chalked and verified in place, which is when errors get caught rather than after they are painted
- Application – Paint applied at proper thickness using striping equipment that holds a straight, consistent line
- Stencil and Detail Work – Symbols, arrows, numbers, and curb marking completed by hand where machines cannot go
- Cure and Verification – Markings protected during cure and checked against layout verification standards developed with engineers
